That base is the same as the difference between cocaine and crack. See, white powder coke is really cocaine hydrochloride, a water soluble form of cocaine with an ion attached, or know as the salt form. The hydrochloride adds weight to the cocaine molecule, so they're speaking of molecule for molecule, 60mg of the salt form of DHC has the same molecule number as 40mg of the free base form of DHC. Another example would be that 100mg of propoxyphene napsylate is equivalent to 65mg of propoxyphene hydrochloride because the napsylate ion weighs so much more than the hydrochloride ion. Also, the salt form affects the bioactivity. You can't smoke a salt form of a drug because the vaporization temperature is too high, close to the combustion point. You can smoke the free base form cause it'll boil at a lower temp. Can't inject freebases though. Well... a lot more could be said... but I'll leave it there for now.
